"What do you mean?"

Gu Yanchen's words confused Yan Xiao, who was serving tea and serving water as the Gu family's maid.

Frowning slightly, his stern gaze swept over Yan Xiao's astonished expression. Gu Yanchen squinted his eyes and looked at Mr. Gu who was calmly picking up the tea cup. This sentence seemed to be said to Yan Xiao, but in fact it meant

This is for Mr. Gu.

"Really? Little girl, you are really honest and forthright. Maybe there is really love between you and my grandson, but in the eyes of those who want to make a fuss and ruin the reputation of our Gu family, it is a big deal. They will treat nothing in vain

If the paper turns black, they will blaspheme your love. In the eyes of vulgar people like us, you are just a woman who wants to be as good as a dragon or a phoenix!"

But it was obviously not his temper to hold back. He squinted his eyes. Mr. Gu suddenly stood up and waved to Tan Nianjing, "Little girl, let's go to the study and have a chat. If you can play chess, you can play with me by the way."

plate!"

These days, Gu Gu Gu, the housekeeper, went out of town for business and accompanied Mr. Gu to play chess. At this moment, Mr. Gu was still a little itchy and wanted to use the opportunity of playing chess to give this smart girl some hints.

, if she is willing to leave Yanchen, then he can definitely arrange a good marriage for her!

Mother Gu looked at her son with a firm expression and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. Then she turned around and gently patted the back of Tan Nianjing's hand. Her smiling eyes were a little narrow, which instantly relieved Tan Nianjing's nervousness.

.

Gu's mother's words were very clever. She instantly blocked the old man's unspoken words, wasn't it? People who ruin their marriages will be punished. Is it a bad thing to do something that brings virtue to the ancestors?

"Grandpa Gu, I am a bit willful. Maybe I have not thought as much as you. As your best grandson, Yanchen is worthy of the best woman. I am with him not because of his status, but because

, I really like him and I really want to live with him!"

Her voice was very clear, like a slow stream, which completely washed away the fatigue in Gu Yanchen's heart. Unconsciously, a smile overflowed the corners of his lips. Gu Yanchen looked sideways at Tan Nianjing, his eyes as gentle as the bright moonlight.

Tan Nianjing pursed her lips, and with a thought in her mind, she stood up and walked to Gu Yanchen's side, looking side by side at Mr. Gu - 13acv.

There is no one present who is more suitable than Gu's father to point out this matter. As the eldest son of Mr. Gu, even if he refutes the old man's face, the old man will not hate his father. But if it were Gu Yanchen or Gu

Mother, I'm afraid Mr. Gu doesn't want to see Tan Nianjing even more.

Tan Nianjing paused slightly and looked sideways at Gu Yanchen, "It's really beyond my expectation that he can do this for me, so next, I am willing to do something for him. As the saying goes, if you can

Such a man loves and dotes on me. My ancestors burned countless incense sticks. We don’t treat marriage as a child’s play!”

"No way, actually I'm rarely this aggressive." Tan Nianjing raised the corners of her lips, not looking at the white chess piece that looked lifeless, but took out another one from the chess box on the side.

, raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Gu, and sent the white chess into the hinterland of Mr. Gu's black chess, but it happened to be connected with the previous piece, and he barely managed to tie with the old man.

Glancing at the fleeting light, Tan Nianjing couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "I know that, but old man, sometimes experience can be deceiving. Xia Yining brought it upon herself to be where she is today. I'm very grateful."

You are cruel, but your cruelty obviously does not apply to me, because Gu Yanchen and Gu Yancheng are different."

Tan Nianjing tilted her body and looked at Mr. Gu sharply, "You know better than me what it means to cook a rabbit to death and a dog to cook!"

At least... Mr. Gu couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Old man, are you popularizing fairy tales to me? There is no equality in love, only surrender. Either he bows his head, or I bow my head. I am willing to bow my head. Even if someone says that I follow the dragon and the phoenix, so what!" Tan Nian Jingding

Staring straight into those falcon-like eyes, a flash of condensation flashed across his eyes.

"I did fall in love with Gu Yanchen. There are rumors in City B that he is the first choice for a marriage partner from aristocratic families. But now he is my man. I am very content and grateful. I will not trample on his feelings. He is the one I want to work with for the rest of my life."

A man, so I won’t compromise with you!”

Mr. Gu didn't speak before, but now he stabbed Tan Nianjing's pain point. But he never imagined that what he said was not a big deal to Tan Nianjing!

After saying that, she looked at Tan Nianjing with a smile, not paying any attention to the pale and stern smile standing behind the old man.

There was silence all the way, while Tan Nianjing and Mr. Gu each thought about it. If Mr. Gu thought that a woman like Tan Nianjing was easy to get rid of at first, now he is somewhat impressed by her, but for the sake of his grandson's bright future, he must be ruthless.

Be this evil person!

She slowly put down the cooling teacup with a calm expression, but what she said almost made Mr. Gu jump out of anger, "Old man, you are really a good elder. You care too much about Yanchen's future and achievements, so you are so grateful to him."

Marriage is so important, but now the Gu family's position is enough, and it may not be better if it is higher. No one can predict the outcome of next year's election. I just feel that Gu Yanchen is not suitable for a wealthy family, and the outcome of a powerful alliance——

"

In the study, Tan Nianjing and Mr. Gu each sat on one side of the chessboard.

Now talking to Mr. Gu alone, Tan Nianjing no longer concealed it and said: "Old man, just tell me what you have to say. When I came here earlier, I had already thought that you would not like to see me. I heard that you don't like female soldiers. I thought that

A woman should stay at home, support her husband and raise children, so let me say it bluntly, I will not give up everything I have now for Yanchen."

Hearing this, Gu Yanchen glanced at his father gratefully, then looked into Mr. Gu's eyes that were holding back his anger, and said calmly but seriously: "Grandpa, Nian Nian is my grandson's girlfriend and his future wife."

Such a simple sentence, he said it with full force and impact.

"In that case, I won't talk in circles with you anymore. You and Yan Chen are not suitable! You should know that an actor named Xia Yining tried to use raw rice to make cooked rice to threaten Yancheng to marry into the Gu family. Don't you plan to do the same?

Do you want to do this? When I saw you today, I do like your temper. There used to be a little girl whose temper was very to my liking, but it’s a pity... That’s all. Since I have decided to be a bad guy, I have to take it seriously.

Gu family, you can’t bear it!”

She is no longer a young girl, she has a certain social experience and mind, and she really cares about Gu Yanchen and wants to live with this man, so she will work hard for him to win the favor of his family, especially this

As Mr. Gu, Gu Yanchen definitely didn't want to create a gap with him because of her.

While Tan Nianjing was stroking the purple clay tea cup, she was looking at the unsolvable mess on the table. When she lowered her head and sipped the tea, she heard Mr. Gu say meaningfully: "You little girl is very calm, old man, I actually underestimated you."

I've killed you! That's right, how can I conquer my proud grandson without any means?"

"Tsk, tsk, the little girl now is so sharp-tongued!" As he spoke, Mr. Gu held the chess piece in his hand and put it down casually, which instantly brought life to the end game of the table, but also forced Tan Nianjing into a dead corner. Unless Tan Nianjing

Abandon the piece of white chess, but abandoning is obviously not her character.

Mr. Gu dropped the black chess piece and looked at Tan Nianjing with a little appreciation, but in the end it turned into a pity.

When Gu's father, who was sitting next to Gu's mother, saw this, he first gave a comforting smile to Tan Nianjing, who looked slightly downcast, and then smiled gently at the innocent Yan and said: "This Huangshan Maofeng is a tea to send guests away, you

I don’t understand… So, I’ll ask Butler Gu to explain it to you instead.”

Hearing this, Mr. Gu's heart suffocated, he suppressed a gentle smile, and said coldly: "You don't need to remind me of these things!"

"Grandpa Gu, this world is not what political textbooks teach. People are not equal. Power occupies the top of the pyramid in this world. If a businessman wants to get rich, all he needs is brains, connections and time. But

The formation of an aristocratic family is not that simple. It means that next year there will be a reshuffle, and the power will still be lost to the aristocratic family. It is almost impossible for a person without foundation to rise to the top. I have known Yanchen’s identity from the beginning, although

I should be careful about my words and actions, but—"

"You—" Mr. Gu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, but he had to admit that what Tan Nianjing said was right.

When Gu's mother heard this, she couldn't help but said lightly, "Dad, a good marriage is extremely rare. If it can lead to the marriage between Yanchen and Niannian, it will also be a meritorious deed. This kind of good thing to accumulate virtue for the ancestors, I say

I have to agree to anything, don’t you think?” Shi Yi’s words were confused.

Tan Nianjing saw what Mr. Gu was thinking, smiled softly at the worried Gu Yanchen, and immediately followed Mr. Gu to the second floor——

He is not willing to let her give up everything she has now. How can a man who loves her and cares about her so much let her make an embarrassing decision?

Yan Xiao nervously served new tea again and left Mr. Gu's study without daring to stay.

"Yes, Yanchen is my lover. He never tells me about the pressure of work, but as a woman standing next to him, I have to consider him, so I understand your mood, old man, but I don't agree. I

I said—I won’t compromise!”

"Pa—" Mr. Gu was so angry that he slammed the tea cup on the table. The purple sand tea cup was suddenly shattered by the sudden force. The black and white chess pieces on the table fell to the floor in an instant, with a crash.

sound

After that, Tan Nianjing only heard the angry Mr. Gu growl: "Get out, get out! Why do you, a little girl of unknown origin, dare to say such a thing? I really don't see what's so good about you, you're not as good as us."

The Gu family’s maid!”

(Ahem, 9 is going to be a spoiler. The old man was much gentler to Nian Nian back then than he is now. Well, Nian Nian is too sharp. Again, 9 has to go on a business trip tomorrow, so he can only try his best. If he is busy or has something to do, he will come back.
